Every time got difference tooltip params for Natalya's Mark:

Looking at the content, the only difference I see is presence of indents.

Guys, is it possible to find time to fix it?
I'm about to implement my own hashing mechanism to work around this issue, but may be it can be fixed?

Thanks for pointing this out, we will correct it.

To shed some light on this, the item-data hash contains information about which other set pieces the character has equipped from the Natalya's set. The internal list was in an arbitrary order so it is causing that hash to fluctuate a bit each time it was computed.

We'll fix it so that it is sorted in a consistent way to prevent the hash from changing between requests.
